| Course description |
For both research and practical application a strong background in physiology is a necessity. This module will explore various areas of the physiology of strength & conditioning, which have primary impact upon performance. These areas include the in depth study of bioenergetics (and metabolism), the neuromuscular, cardiovascular, endocrine and immune system and training adaptations.
Learning outcomes will be achieved by methods including lectures, demonstrations, workshops and directed reading. |
